United Nations Association of Malaysia - Youth Circle

The United Nations Association of Malaysia (UNAM) is a voluntary, independent, non-political, non-profit, non-governmental organization. UN Associations (UNAs) in UN member countries have consultative status with the United Nations through the World Federation of UN Associations, WFUNA. It serves as a voice of the peoples of the world other than government representatives in the UN. UNAM's elected Governing Council comprises of former Ambassadors, diplomats, academicians and persons who subscribe to the ideals of the UN. Currently the 16 member-Council is headed by former Minister of Foreign Affairs Tengku Tan Sri Dato' Seri Ahmad Rithauddeen. UNAM achieves its objectives of sharing and disseminating vital knowledge, data and information and promoting the work of UN and its agencies through seminars, dialogues, workshops, and forums nationally and regionally. To fund its activities, UNAM occasionally organizes friendly golf games and subscription dinners.
